The completed set

Paired - Lion

24" X 20.5"

Original Oil

I had a great deal of fun playing with the contrast in this painting. Keeping the lioness more in the shadow achieved what I was hoping - your eye goes right to the lion. There are a couple changes since this photo: a darker purple under the lioness's chin and a softening of her chest fur under her chin.

The competed set which will have matching individual custom frames is below:

This set will be sold at Auction February 4th - 7th, 2015 at the Safari Club International Convention, Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas, NV
